I wonder if Plan 9 is getting the exposure it deserves?  I met with some people from IBM last week about a grid project and they weren't aware of the capabilites of Plan 9 for grid solutions.  I'm setting up a grid between departments but unfortunately need to use Linux and the Globus Toolkit because of the applications. I have nothing against Linux or Globus but it seems to me that Plan 9 is ideal for such a project. I need to have some applications on the grid which I can't do with Plan 9.  I'll even have to disguise Linux as Windows so the users won't think it's not too unfamiliar.

On a better note, we published an article in Library Hi Tech vol. 21 no. 4, pp. 471-476 on Plan 9.  At least we've introduced it to some librarians.
